Francis Tannahill "Passito" 08 375 ml

The Passito is a Rousanne/Marsanne/Viognier Dessert Wine.

Beautiful amber color. Aromas of apricots, white raisins, acacia honey, lychee, rose, Turkish Delight, and roasted nuts explode out of the glass. Thick and viscous on the palate, the wine is very sweet, but balanced by the strong phenolic and acid structure. Long, concentrated and rich, the finish is pure, intense, and rolls on forever.

Vineyard - The Dragonfly vineyard is located above the Columbia Gorge in White Salmon, Washington at an elevation of 1600 feet. The vines, planted in 1962, represent the oldest Gew?rztraminer vineyard in the Pacific Northwest. Owned and immaculately tended organically by Don and Kristy Ginsler, the Dragonfly Vineyard is one of the most beautiful of all the vineyards with which Francis Tannahill works. Due to the age of the vineyard, elevation and long hang time the yields never reach more than 1.25 tons per acre. Dragonfly Vineyard is always among the last harvested with concentrated ripe fruit.
